Standard casting
In the standard casting procedure, a gel is cast
between two glass plates held apart by a pair of
spacers. (See Fig 2 on page 5.) The result can be
pictured as a “sandwich,” with the gel between
two glass plates. When you set up a vertical slab
gel electrophoresis unit, you place the glass and
gel sandwich in the electrophoresis unit.
The maximum number of gels you can cast
simultaneously using the standard casting proce-
dure is shown in Table 1.
